According to a press release from the Florida state attorney's office, Arnold will have criminal charges filed against him and "is facing multiple felony charges which carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison."
"Arnold is accused of coordinating and directing the codefendants to lure three men to an apartment where the victims were robbed, beaten and held at gunpoint," the statement said. "Arnold believed the victims in the case stole more than $200,000 worth of his personal items during a stay in his AirBNB property, although there is no evidence to prove the victims were involved in the theft."
State attorney Suzy Lopez said in the release, "No one has the right to take the law into their own hands. A dispute over missing property does not justify kidnapping, violence or retaliation. This arrest is the result of months of investigative work and collaboration between the Tampa police department and our prosecutors. We will continue to pursue justice for the three victims by holding everyone accountable for their roles in this crime."
Arnold is the seventh person to be arrested in connection with the incident. Two of the codefendants, Arianna Del Valle and Jasmine Randazzo, "pleaded guilty to their roles in the crime during a court hearing on June 24."
Randazzo was sentenced to four years in Florida State Prison; Del Valle entered an open plea with the court and will be sentenced at a later date. As part of their plea agreements, according to the release, Del Valle and Randazzo "are required to testify truthfully in any further proceedings related to this case."
The Lions said in a statement: “We are aware of the legal situation regarding Terrion Arnold. We will not comment at this time out of respect for the ongoing legal process.”
